Moscow Rules reviews
Written pre season 10. I used the information provided in the season 10 press release, Harry's Diary and the Personnel Files to come up with this.

The HS suspects something and asks Ruth to spy on Harry.

The Harold Palmer Affair reviews
Written shortly after season 9 aired, and featuring the team as we knew it in 9.8. A bit of Harry/Ruth fun to atone for the dark subject matter of the previous story. There is a plot if you look really hard, but it's just an excuse to have some fun with them. Harry and Ruth must go undercover together; will this bring them closer together or drive them further apart?
